Doh, I did indeed. Alternatively, this could be:
if (writable && !ret)
kvm_set_pfn_dirty(pfn);
kvm_release_pfn_clean(pfn);
It won't matter in the end, because this just becomes:
kvm_release_faultin_page(kvm, page, !!ret, writable);
So I guess the question is if you prefer to make the switch to an if-else in this
path, or more implicitly in the conversion to kvm_release_faultin_page().
I made the same goof for RISC-V, perhaps to prove that I too can copy+paste arm64's
MMU code ;-)
